PATENT OEEIGE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

IMPROVEMENT IN WHIP-HANGER'S.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,208, dated December 29, 1874; application filed May 9, 1874.

To all whom t may concern:

Beit known that I, WARREN HALL, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Whip-Hangers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved whip hanger or suspender; and consists of a thin iiat sheet-metal plate, and attached curved hooks, a portion of said plate being inclined or bent outward at an obtuse angle from the other portion, and provided, in its front edge, with V shaped" notches, whereby' the suspender may be either attached to the side of a wall or upon the top front edge of a shelf, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

The following is a description otl my invention:

In the drawing is presented a view of my improvement, the upper portion of the figure showing the suspender secured upon the top front edge portion of a shelf, while the lower portion shows it attached to the side of a wall.

B is the iiat portion of metal plate, that has holes through it, by which it may be fastened with nails or screws to the wall, or horizontally to the shelf, the same piece answering for either. C is a portion that is bent out at an obtuse angle from the piece B, so that y when placed aga-inst the wall this angular piece C will project at an obtuse angle upward and forward. Notches or slots are cut in the angular piece C, into which the whips are slipped and held in place.

The same piece can he attached, without alteration, to a shelf', as shown at the top of the ligure, by simply inverting it.

Attached to these pieces B C are wire hooks A A, soldered thereto. There may be any number of these hooks that may be desired. They are used for the purpose orn hanging up whip-lashes, or whips that have loops upon them, as indicated in the drawing.

The whip-suspender herein described, conl WARREN IIALL.
